Can I use the CPAP machine during pregnancy?

Im 11 weeks pregnant and weighing 222 pounds. I Have been feeling very dizzy, waking up several times at night to the bathroom. Snoring very loud and feeling so sleepy in the afternoon, and while driving too! I dont know if I should use again the CPAP machine or not. If I do use it would this affect  the baby?

The CPAP machine is only sending some air in to keep your airway and all working correctly at night. I think it may actually help your baby since you have apnea and may stop breathing at night or not getting the rest you need
